Isaiah 33:17-24

English Standard Version

¹⁷^(A)Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;
    ^(B)they will see a land that stretches afar.
¹⁸^(C)Your heart will muse on the terror:
    “Where is he who counted, where is ^(D)he who weighed the tribute?
    Where is ^(E)he who counted the towers?”
¹⁹^(F)You will see no more the insolent people,
    the people ^(G)of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
    stammering in a tongue that you cannot understand.
²⁰Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!
    ^(H)Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    an untroubled habitation, an ^(I)immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
    nor will any of its cords be broken.
²¹But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
    a place of ^(J)broad rivers and streams,
^(K)where no galley with oars can go,
    nor majestic ship can pass.
²²For the Lord is our ^(L)judge; the Lord is our ^(M)lawgiver;
    the Lord is our ^(N)king; he will save us.

²³Your cords hang loose;
    they cannot hold the mast firm in its place
    or keep the sail spread out.
^(O)Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided;
    even ^(P)the lame will take the prey.
²⁴And no inhabitant will say, ^(Q)“I am sick”;
    ^(R)the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.
